HILLSBOROUGH
A market town (formerly a Parliamentary borough), in
County Down, ten miles from Belfast, on the road from Dublin to
Belfast. Petty Sessions held on the first Saturday of every month,
in the Court-house. The Parish Church is a very elegant building,
consisting of a nave and cross aisles. The tower, which is upwards
of 100 feet high, and the steeple, 100 more, form altogether a beautiful
and conspicuous object, and can be seen at a great distance. There
are also two smaller towers at the sides. A monument by Nollekens,
to the memory of Archdeacon Leslie, erected by the fourth Marquis of
Downshire, is worthy of notice; as also a monument, erected by the fourth
Marquis of Downshire to the memory of Mr. William E. Reilly, a former
agent; and there is a very chaste and elegant group of Statuary, erected
by the Marchioness of Downshire to the memory of her late husband, the
fifth Marquis. A chancel floor in Irish marble of very beautiful
design has been laid by the Right Honourable Lord Arthur W. Hill in
memory of his father, the fourth Marquis of Downshire. The fine old
organ, originally built by John Suetzler, has recently been entirely
rebuilt and enlarged at the cost of the present Marquis, who has also had
the whole interior of the church renovated and improved. There are
also two other handsome churches in the parish, built by the third
Marquis, and endowed by him; and there are two Presbyterian churches and
a Roman Catholic chapel. The charitable institutions are - a
dispensary and school for both sexes. The Downshire Boys' and Girls'
Schools are conducted on the National system of education, and a Sunday
school, patronised by the Downshire family. The Downshire demesne
is contiguous to the town - the mansion, garden and lawn being on the
west side of it. On a hill at the Dromore side of the town is a
splendid monument to the memory of the third Marquis of Downshire,
erected by public subscription, and in the centre of the town, opposite
the church entrance, is a bronze statue of the fourth Marquis, put up by
friends and tenants. Hillsborough Fort, often visited by tourists,
was built in the reign of Charles I., and is constituted a Royal Fort, of
which the Marquis of Downshire is hereditary Constable. King
William the Third stopped here when passing on to Drogheda, and it was
here he signed the Regium Donum grant to Presbyterian ministers.
Hillsborough gives the titles of Earl and Viscount to the Marquis of
Downshire. The Northern Banking Company, Limited, have a branch
here. There is close to the town a large linen factory, belonging to the
Hillsborough Linen Company, Limited. The East Downshire Steamship
Company, Limited (of which the Right Hon. Lord A. Hill. M.P., is chairman
of directors), having its head office at Dundrum, Co. Down, opened a
depot for the sale of coals at Newport, on the banks of the Lagan Canal
some five years ago. There is a public newsroom and a lending
library, open to the people of the town and vicinity. The markets
are held on Wednesdays; fairs third Wednesday in each month.

HILLTOWN
A village, with a population of 198, in the Parish of
Clonduff, barony of Upper Iveagh, County of Down, on the road from Newry
to Newcastle, eight miles from the former and ten from the latter.
The nearest railway station is Ballyroney, six miles distant, on the
Great Northern Railway. Lowry's cars run to and from Newry on
Thursdays and Saturdays. It is situated on the north-west verge of
the Mourne Mountains, near the River Bann, in which trout abound.
There is a remarkably good hotel, the Downshire Arms, under the able
management of Mr. J. and Mrs. Williamson, whose care of and attention to
visitors has popularised the hotel. There is good trout fishing in
the River Bann, close by, whilst the bracing air, pretty mountain
scenery, and beautiful drives around are attracting an increasing number
of visitors. The name Hilltown is taken from the surname of the
Marquis of Downshire, who owns the property, and by whose ancestors the
village was built. There is a weekly market, on Tuesday, for
fowl. A monthly fair, which is usually largely attended, is held
on the second Tuesday of every month. The Marquis of Downshire
recently presented to the inhabitants a weighbridge, beam and scales,
and a market shed. The ancient Parish Church, which was ruined in
1641, was situated about a mile and a half east of the village, the
roofless walls of which still remain in an old graveyard, and are of
interest to antiquarians. The present Parish Church was built by
the Marquis of Downshire in 1765. It is a neat building with a
pinnacled tower, and is a striking object, surrounded by a good wall,
and having a fine row of lime trees on the north side, in the centre of
the village.

HOLYWOOD
Four and a quarter (Irish) miles distant from the Exchange
(Commercial Buildings), Belfast, is beautifully situated on the eastern or
County Down shore of Belfast Lough, and is backed by an extensive range of
hills, which rise with a gentle slope from the water's edge to a height of
between 600 and 700 feet. These hills materially check and moderate
the cold and humid south-east and southerly winds, which prevail so largely
at certain seasons, before they reach the town; while the north and
north-west winds, by having to cross over the large expense of salt water
in the bay, are denuded of the keeness peculiar to land winds, and these
important influences, combined with the natural attractiveness of the
locality at all seasons, make Holywood highly appreciated as an all the
year round residence, especially for those of a delicate or susceptible
frame. The public road from Holywood to Belfast leads through Strandtown
and Ballymacarrett, passing over Bunker's Hill, from which the renowned
"Bunker's Hill" of America is named. There is another road
leading through Belmont and Knocknagoney, and by either of these routes a
most charming drive is afforded. Direct railway accommodation to this
pleasant seaside town is afforded by the Belfast and County Down Railway,
trains running almost every hour (morning and evening trains run every half
hour to suit business men) from half-past six o'clock in the morning until
eleven at night; the fares are moderate, and special inducements are
offered to subscribers. It is thus one of the most accessible suburbs
of Belfast. Holywood is remarkable as having been a place of note so
far back as the seventh century, at which period a church is believed to
have been founded in it by St. Laisren, and it is recorded that King John,
when journeying from Carrickfergus to Downpatrick on the 29th July, 1210,
halted at Holywood - "Apod Sactum Bassum" - the name Sactus
Boscus, of Holy Wood, having been given to it as early as the period of the
English Invasion; the road traversed by King John was that leading past the
Waterworks. It is also stated that in the year 1217 Jordanus de
Saukevill was confirmed in the possession of the lands "de Sancto
Bosco" by Henry III. About the year 1200 a monastery of the
Third Order of St. Francis, or Franciscans, was founded. This
monastery was tenanted by about 400 monks, and stood somewhere near the
ruins of the present Old Church, and occupied the site of the church
believed to have been founded by St. Laisren in the seventh century.
A short distance from the Old Church, in the grounds of Millmoat, is a
large ancient rath or funeral ground, supposed to be the tomb of some
mighty chief who flourished long prior even to St. Laisren's time.
The monastery was attached to the great monastic establishment at Bangor
founded by St. Comgall, and it, together with those at Bangor, Newtownards
and Moville, were burned by Sir Thomas Brian MacFelim O'Neill, Lord of
Clannaboy, in 1572, in order that Sir Thomas Smith, Secretary to Queen
Elizabeth, night not have the opportunity of placing garrisons in
them. In the graveyard which surrounds the Old Church there are
gravestones dating from 1630, and quite recently an elaborately carved
stone of about six feet in height, which has been proved to be of great
antiquity, was discovered embedded at a considerable depth on the
north0east side of the old graveyard, and is now preserved in the
belfry. Peculiar interest in connection with the Presbyterian Church
attaches to Holywood, inasmuch as we are informed that Robert Cunningham
"was the first of the Presbyterian divines to settle not only in
Holywood, but in the County Down, and the second one established in
Ulster." He was settled in Holywood in 1615, where he ministered
successfully for about twenty years. The places of worship of all
denominations are handsome and commodious edifices. Sullivan's
National Schools, consisting of boys', girls, and infant schools, occupy a
very superior and ornamental structure in the principal street, and
adjoining it (built at a cost of £2,000) stands one of the best and
cheapest endowed Intermediate Schools to be found in Ireland.
According to the scheme of Dr. Sullivan's trustees, as amended by the
Master of the Rolls, instruction is given in this important and valuable
institution in ancient classics, modern languages, science, English
composition, etc., at rates that enable the sons of parents of small
incomes to enjoy their benefits. Dr. Sullivan's munificent bequests
for these schools amounted to about £14,000, of which £4,000 are to be
applied to the ordinary schools. the Parochial National Schools (male
and female), situated adjacent to the Parish Church, and built by the
congregation, are handsome and commodious structures, with a large daily
attendance. There are also several first-class ladies' and boys'
boarding and day schools. The shops in the town are numerous -
grocers, bakers, hardware, butchers, millinery establishments - all of
which do a flourishing business; besides which the principal traders in
Belfast send their vans regularly to take orders and supply their
customers. Fish are caught in the Lough by local fishermen. The
principal hotel, "The Belfast Hotel," in High Street, is an
extensive building, with large stabling and carriage accommodation.
The proprietor, Mr. Robert McKelvey, conducts it in the best style, at a
reasonable tariff. The "Kinnegar Hotel," Mr. J. W. Boyd,
proprietor, also affords excellent accommodation at moderate rates. A
number of cars are always at the railway station on the arrival of trains,
and private cars and landaus are to be had on hire; boats can also be hired
by the hour or day during the summer. The Government have acquired
the Kinnegar, and use it as an out military station for drill purposes and
ball practice. Two ranges have been constructed, one fitted with
running gear; and companies from the battalions stationed in Belfast, as
well as militia regiments, are placed under canvas on the Kinnegar during
the summer season. The Government have also acquired the
"Palace" grounds, and here a large military barrack has been
built, and is now occupied by upwards of 600 non-commissioned officers and
men. The Ulster Rifle Association, established nearly a quarter of a
century, have also their ranges on the Kinnegar, and here some of the most
distinguished marksmen of the United Kingdom have been trained. The
Holywood Cricket and Lawn Tennis Club has a large membership, and fine
grounds at Spafield, within a few minutes' walk of the railway
station. Holywood is under the Towns Improvement (Ireland) Act, 1854,
and is exceedingly well sewered, the sanitary arrangements in every
direction having been actively looked after. The town is well lighted
with gas of a superior quality, and moderate price, the mains being laid to
Marino, and as far as Craigavad. The Town Hall, the property of the
rate payers, situate in Sullivan Avenue, is a very fine and commodious
building, with every accommodation suitable for all classes of
meetings. Here the Urban District Council have their Boardroom for
holding their classes of meetings, and in another portion of the building
the Petty Sessions Court is held bi-monthly. The large hall is most
comfortable and spacious, capable of seating about five hundred persons
with a raised platform, and is used for concerts and lectures. In
connection with the building is a newsroom and public library; also, a most
flourishing Chess Club. There is a volunteer Fire Brigade in
Holywood, and that apparatus is kept beside the Town Hall. The Orange
Hall, a plain but substantial buildings, containing lodgerooms and assembly
hall, is also in Sullivan Place, in close proximity to the railway
station. The Masonic Hall in Church View is an unpretentious looking
building on the outside, but the interior, which includes lodgeroom,
ante-room, and supper room, is very neatly and comfortably fitted up.
The Holywood Young Men's Christian Association (1882), with a membership of
close upon two hundred, hold weekly meetings during the winter in the
Parochial Hall, Church Road. The public fountain in Church Street is
the gift of Baron Trevor, Brynkinalt, North Wales, Lord of the Manor.
It is supplied by a spring which rises in the adjoining field a little
below the church, and the water is justly celebrated for its purity and
excellence for tea making purposes. The May Pole, probably the last
of the kind in Ireland, stands at the junction of High Street, Shore
Street, and Church Street, and is the gift of Captain Harrison, D.L.
It is an immense Norwegian spar, standing about sixty-four feet above
ground, and twenty under it. The ceremony of dressing it with bunting
and flowers on May eve is still continued. Holywood has always been
recommended to invalids on account of its superior climate, which is,
winter and summer, two degrees warmer than Belfast. The late eminent
Dr. Forsythe was accustomed to make his patients take up their residence
there, as he did himself in old age, after amassing a large fortune.
Distinguished Dublin physicians speak in the highest terns of the
climate. The walks along the shore and on the hills are very numerous
and most attractive. From the summit of the hills there are, at different
standpoints, commanding views of County Down, with its farms, lakes, rivers
and mountains stretching away to Slieve Donard; then away to the right,
from above Stormount Castle, appears the whole valley of the Lagan, with
the spires of Lisburn, Hillsborough and Ballinderry, in the distance.
From the hills above Craigavad, there is afforded a wide sweep of the
Scottish mountains, with Ailsa Craig rising up like a vast sugar-loaf in
the middle of the deep. From the hill above Craigantlet there is a
grand view of Strangford Lough, and, still looking to the right, the grand,
majestic old Cave Hill is to be seen; and in one uninterrupted view the eye
can reach the dark and terrible looking Black Head. A little nearer
Holywood is Pottinger's Dog Kennel, where in olden times the father of the
celebrated brothers Pottinger of Chinese fame, kept his hounds while he
lives at Craigavad House. There are curious old caves in Cultra Glen,
which are well worth exploring; about a mile above the Parish Church is
what is called Schomberg's Hill, where it is supposed William's army lay in
marching from Groomsport to the Boyne. The inhabitants get a
plentiful supply of pure water from the waterworks, constructed in the glen
above the town, at a cost of about £10,000 to the ratepayers. Mr. L.
L. Macassey, C.E., was the engineer for the works as now constructed.
They comprise a storage reservoir of about three acres in extent (capable
of holding nine million gallons), two filter basins, and a clear water
basin. Mr. T. L. Corbett, M.P., is the recipient of the honour of
Parliamentary member for the North Division of Down. The proprietor
of Holywood is Captain John Harrison, D.L. The population is 1841 was
1,500; and is now (1901) estimated at 5,000; the town, after several years
of depression, has made great progress within the past few years, and many
handsome villas are at present in course of erection, and a large number of
beautiful residences have been built during the past few years. The
poor law valuation of the township is over £11,000.

IRVINESTOWN
Formerly Lowtherstown, is the second largest town in County
Fermanagh, situated in the parish of Derryvullen, and barony of
Lurg. There is a good market held every Wednesday, and a fair on
the 8th of every month. The town principally consists of one ling
wide street, and at the extremity stands a high square tower of the old
church, on which is erected a good town clock. In the vicinity of
the town is Castle Irvine, a beautiful building, the seat of Mr. William
D'Arcy Irvine, J.P. Petty Sessions are held every alternate
Friday, and there is a Constabulary Barrack, with six constables and a
sergeant. The Parish Church is a handsome structure in the Gothic
style, with a square tower. It was erected in 1831, at a cost of
£2,300. Several costly additions have been made to it. The
Presbyterian Church and Manse, near the railway station, are very neat
buildings. The Methodist Church, at the east end of the town, is a
very complete building, and most comfortably seated and finished.
A short distance from the town is a neat Roman Catholic Chapel.
The population of the town in 1891 was 892

ISLANDMAGEE
Is a peninsula, seven miles long and about one and a half broad, on
the eastern coast of the County Antrim, fifteen miles from
Belfast. It is bounded for more than two-thirds of its length on
the western side of Larne Lough. There are two ferries connecting
it with Larne and one with Magheramorne, and a station on the Carrickfergus
and Larne branch of the Belfast and Northern Counties Railway. There is
a fine new road connecting it with Ballycarry Station on the same
railway, which is the principal station for Islandmagee, and at which a
large number of cars attend. There is a weekly market on Thursday
for the sale of pork, butter, and eggs, at the extensive stores of Mr.
Robert McFerran, general merchant, seven minutes' walk from Ballycarry
Station. Islandmagee is yearly becoming more frequented as a
health resort, and many Belfast families spend the summer months in it.
The population is about 3,000
